Abstract

Background: According to ecosystem theory, parents shape their children's personalities and social development via their education, and the family environment is essential for a person's early development. The ways in which parents raise their children anticipate the ways in which their children will identify and express themselves. When parents provide their children with the necessary care and support in a growing environment, the children typically exhibit more confidence in their skills to confront problems.
